Summons lightning to blast all enemies for 125000 Nature damage.

How it works

It does not trigger the global cooldown, so it can be used between other casts.

  1. Effect 1 is School Damage (effect type 2). Its base value is 125000. Its area radius is 15 yards.

What it does

Lightning Nova is a Nature spell with a 2 sec cast, no range (it targets the caster) and a 3 sec cooldown. When cast it deals Nature damage (base value 125000) in a 15 yard radius.
